Greg William Clark, 48, disappeared on January 22, 2004, after his 32-foot wooden vessel Katrina ran aground near Heceta Island while he was making a supply run from Kosciusko Island to Craig. He radioed for help reporting mechanical problems and that the boat had run aground; the United States Coast Guard was notified and a search followed.

A debris field containing wreckage from the Katrina was recovered, and a rolled-up survival suit was found among the debris though it was unclear if it belonged to Clark. A three-day search by the Coast Guard and local residents turned up no sign of him, and the search was called off. Official accounts state the boat struck a rock and broke up in Cone Cove.

More than a month later, one of Clark’s two Labrador retrievers, Brick, was found alive on Heceta Island several miles from the sinking; the dog was underweight and had an injured leg. No trace of Greg Clark has been found since. Did anyone in the area at the time see the Katrina or notice anything unusual around Cone Cove that winter?
